Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton

There is simply nowhere in Key West that compares to this venue. I explored every option on the island and along the entire Florida Keys, and only Casa Marina was able to check ALL of the following boxes: 1) An on-site Plan B for inclement weather Your ceremony will simply be moved indoors or into one of the hotel's outdoor/covered corridors. Plan B for weather is critical for a Florida wedding and we greatly appreciated having a built-in backup plan without any additional $$ or movement for our guests. 2) Beach wedding ceremony with a hotel ballroom for the reception Casa's beach is one of the only private beaches on Key West so your ceremony can be private, aside from hotel guests watching (and cheering) from afar. The iconic Casa walkway from the beach to the hotel is absolutely breathtaking for guests and photos! The ceremony and cocktail hour both are hosted outside to enjoy the gorgeous early evening weather and then guests can head inside for the private reception. The Flager Ballroom is stunning with ceilings lined with wood and built-in dance floor. We simply couldn't find another venue in Key West that offered us both an indoor and outdoor option in one place while also accommodating our guest count. 3) Ability to host a guest count of 140+ guests Many other venues on the island were non-starters for us due to our guest count. Casa was easily able to accommodate our guest count and in their beautiful, recently remodeled Flagler ballroom. In addition to our baseline requirements that Casa met above, we were blown away by the menu selections we enjoyed at our tasting. We were only disappointed that we couldn't offer our guests more than 2 options as we couldn't seem to narrow down! The Casa puts on a lovely tasting appointment with personalized menus, samples of your selected dishes and wine. We especially loved meeting the Chef and being able to add suggestions to personalize the dishes based on guest dietary preferences - we even have his email address. Casa's preferred vendor list also got us connected to wonderful + local vendors on the island. These vendors have become our family over the past year of planning and we are so excited we went with local as opposed to bringing anyone down from South Florida. One of our only 'wishes' would be that Casa would offer a room block for guests as opposed to a 10% discount. We believe more of our guests would have chosen to stay at the wedding hotel with a room block/room block pricing, making it easier to do welcome bags and gather the guests in one spot. That being said, Key West is full of options for guest lodging and our guests ended up just booking all over the island. Finally, I'd like to give a HUGE shoutout to our wedding coordinator Blaire. She has been by our side for the entirety of our planning process since March 2019. She recommended my FH and I come down to visit on a popular wedding date a year out from our wedding to see the venue + experience the weather + watch the wedding from afar (sitting on a beach hammock!) She also hosted my parent's for a tour on another trip without us even being there. She also helped schedule a beautiful wedding tasting for my parents, FH and I this past January and sat through the tasting and answered all of our questions/suggestions. I most appreciate her support through our recent postponement due to COVID-19 which took us from our May 2020 to February 2021 wedding date. Thank you Blaire!

We had the most amazing wedding weekend at the Casa Marina, A Waldorf Astoria Resort in Key West Florida. The staff was amazing and made us feel so special with all of the little details during not just our wedding day, but the entire stay. The venue is absolutely beautiful with many wonderful touches that made it the wedding of our dreams! The beaches were beautiful. Food was delicious. We couldn't have picked a better place to say "I do!"

We initially had our reception and ceremony planned at The Reach and with the hurricane had to switch to plan B and we could not have loved it more! We felt that fate had a plan for us and this was it! Ashley as Casa Marina was so amazing to work with and really made the whole transition and process seamless for us! She helped us secure rooms for our guest, plan an amazing Welcome DInner menu, and ensure that we always had just what we needed. The venue was a perfect location for a beach liau party for our Welcome and beautifully transformed into a romantic setting for our ceremony. The beach was always cleaned, they kept other guests cleared to keep it feeling exclusvie to our guests and were so accomodating! We loved it here and would go back and do it just the same all over again!

There is no way you can go wrong with choosing Casa Marina as your wedding venue! My husband and I got married here in April and everything was literally perfect. Carina was our event coordinator that worked at Casa and made the whole process of planning a destination wedding so seamless and stress free. She made sure every detail was how we wanted it and was prompt when answering all of my emails and calls. When we arrived we were so impressed by all of the staff and how sweet and accommodating they were the entire weekend. Our ceremony and reception was flawless, I'm still shocked that there was no mishaps at all! We had our ceremony on East Beach and our reception in the Grand Ballroom. I was initially worried about our wedding not feeling private as it was at a resort, but that was not the case at all. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the resort was and how amazing the cocktails and food were. They said it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding and I can't disagree. There is nothing that my husband and I would've changed, everything was perfect!

We had our wedding hosted at the Casa May 2018 and it was fabulous! Most of our guests stayed there as well and had the best things to say about their stay. The grounds were still beautiful after Hurricane Irma, the greenery was up, the rooms were well kept, and the service was excellent. The staff catered well to some serious food allergies and food preferences (gluten Celiac, lactose, vegetarian). The drinks made at the bar were delicious - try the Mo-Tito! - and the staff kept them flowing to our party by the pool and sand. The wedding planning was made simple for us as we live almost 2,000 miles away, and it was exactly our vision. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was excellent. They all deserve a big pat on the back. The Casa is easy access to public transport but we mostly used Uber rides/cabs to get to Duval Street. The Casa was nice, private and quiet but an easy ride to Duval. It is around the corner to a dog beach (if you are bringing a pup they are so kind and friendly), and the southernmost point buoy. The gym facility was clean and had more than I thought it would for a nice morning workout. We enjoyed a couples massage before our wedding day and the staff was lovely as they got all of our stress knots out! I totally recommend this venue for a family vacation or a romantic getaway!

We had our wedding reception at Casa Marina December 16, 2017 and I can honestly say it was perfect. Carina and the Casa Marina staff did everything to make the day run as smoothly as possible. They ensured that our stay at the hotel was a great one. We also used one of their vendors Just Sand and Water to create a memorable sand art at the entrance of our reception and it came out beautiful. From before the contracts were executed until even the days after the wedding all our communications with Carina were very detail oriented and always warm and caring.

This is the best venue in the world. Carina, event staff, and the hotel itself are the best. Casa Marina is gorgeous, everyone is friendly and professional, the food is AMAZING, and it makes for THE most beautiful pictures and memories in the world. If you are looking for a destination wedding venue where you and your family/friends will have the most unbelievable and perfect wedding celebration, please choose Casa Marina in Key West!!!!!

SO many good things to say about this venue! If you are considering getting married in KW you MUST do it at Casa Marina. I barely had 3 months to plan our destination wedding as we had to move the date forward, while searching for places I found this majestic hotel, I adored the beautiful settings and pictures of weddings at Casa Marina, but I fell in love with Carina Primus which is the Catering and Event Manager there. She immediately understood the situation and was willing to make it happen with such a positive and warm attitude. She has the perfect temper for this job, and every bride MUST have a person like her next to her. All our communication was via email/phone calls, and if you are a bride reading this you understand how hard this could be (and as a plus, if you are a Spanish speaker, she is bilingüe). While planning, we had a last minute trip to Florida and we tried to do the most for which we asked Carina and the Chef to squeeze us in their agenda and of course, this was possible! I had the pleasure of finally putting a face to that voice while they prepared the food tasting. They also were willing to prepare a couple typical dishes from my country that the chef had never prepared before which were AMAZING and DELICIOUS. The food presentation is spectacular, the taste is delectable, well prepared, exquisite, and mouth watering, for real! We had 3 activities there, "Welcome Cocktail Party", "Wedding Reception", and "Brunch as farewell party", all three were incredible and beyond expectations, not just for us but for our guests. The food on the 3 occasions was very well presented, delicious and very tasteful. The staff and their attention is incredible!!! The options they have for the bars are very good and full of liquors of all types to please the taste of your different guests. We had people with different meal options like vegetarians, Gluten Free and specific allergies, for which we worked out all the menus based on this and they were extremely good to balance the Hours D'oeuvres, and plated dinner options. Everybody ate absolutely everything that was out on their plates or passed by, and if you have been at weddings, this does not always happen. All the comments after the wedding have been incredible, our guest were delighted at every event of our wedding. The wedding was supposed to be outdoors in the beach area but due to inclement weather we had to change this the day of our wedding, and they made it so smooth and pleasant for such a stressful day, and it's because these people are TRULY PROFESSIONALS. Whichever activity you choose to do here, you can rely on their experience and knowledge. They won't make you make a decision against your initial plan, or idea unless it is an impending change. They will always have a backup plan for your event, in my case it was the Grand Ballroom. By the time we came back from the catholic ceremony, we stopped by and went inside before our guests and it was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! It was impressive that in such a short period of time with the other vendors, they could make it look like it was always planned to be in there. This venue holds an experienced team that will make you feel like you are a family member, will do everything to please you, to make you feel so comfortable and confident that you will have your dream wedding, and also an amazing stay at their remarkable and astounding hotel. Forever thankful with Carina and her team!

The Casa Marina provided excellent service the entire week of our stay and even better service the evening of our wedding. Providing us with 2 amazing wait staff members that gave us undivided attention to our entire wedding party! Thank You Casa for an unforgettable event!

We had our wedding last weekend at the Casa Marina. I am so happy we chose this location for our destination wedding. The resort is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. The ceremony location on the beach was absolutely perfect. My favorite part was the ballroom. Unlike most ball rooms, there was no colorful carpet and outdated fixtures. Everything was modern, wood flooring, it was perfect. Carina was amazing to work with, she was always available to help, and very accommodating! The entire staff was great for our whole stay. I have to also acknowledge an employee, David Pak, who made sure my husband and I were taken care of the entire time we were there whether we lost our room keys, or a drink refill, he was always there to help. We will be staying at this hotel anytime we go back to Key West. Thank you to the entire staff!

Our wedding was gorgeous! So many guest made the comment that it looked like it was straight out of a movie! Everyone can't stop talking about how amazing it was. The resort is stunning, the beach ceremony was perfect and the cocktail hour and reception were incredible. All the guest said the food was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Also, special shout out to Carina, she was so friendly, super quick in her responses and made the whole weekend the best weekend of our lives! Thank you Carina!!!

Perfection! A breeze to work with, adhered to all our requests, & planning remotely was never an issue. When the big day came, there was no stress & everything turned out perfectly! Reina, Carina & the entire staff treated us & all our guests like royalty the entire length of our stay! 5+ stars!!

My husband and I decided to have our wedding at Casa Marina because we loved the beautiful property and it was always a special place for us. We had celebrated anniversaries and birthdays there, and enjoyed the fun atmosphere of Key West! Casa Marina and Carina met our expectations and some! Our wedding day turned out more perfect than we could have ever imagined and working with Carina was SO easy. I asked her many, many questions and she always got back to me right away no matter how small the question was. She made me feel confident that we had chosen the right venue and on the day of our wedding, I did not have to worry at all. Casa Marina and its staff is exceptional at hosting weddings and attending to anything that we wanted. The entire weekend went smoothly and we had over 100 guests staying on the property. The food was amazing as well as the service & staff. Our friends and family will be talking about this day for a long time and I would recommend Casa Marina to anyone! It was truly a special weekend for us and I have Casa Marina & Carina to thank for that!

My husband and I live in Tampa, FL so when we decided to get married in Key West we knew we had to make a fast and furious trip down to pick a venue. In two days I think we saw almost every possibility Key West had to offer. We were overwhelmed, tired, hot, and starting to question our decision to have a destination wedding. I had always dreamed of having a formal event, but was that even possible in Key West? The moment we got to our appointment at the Casa Marina we knew were in the right place. The outside entrance was a mix of old Hollywood glam meets Key West classy. The lobby is decorated in rich hard wood floors and tall ceilings. Reina Todd met us to walk us around the property, showing us breezeways accented by archways, long reflecting pools aside marble flooring and a private beach perfect for any ceremony. Our ballroom was classic and inviting. I even got goosebumps the first time I walked in. Not only were we so happy to get married there but we are already planning our anniversary trip back. Hopefully we will be one of those couples that celebrates their 50th there.

This place is magical. It's a wonderful, relaxed setting to stay in, but is the most amazing backdrop & setting for a wedding! Reina took such amazing care of us and the other staff is top notch. I really can't speak highly enough of this place!

We got married in November 2014 and I could not have asked for anything more perfect for our wedding day. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was exceptional. If I could do it all over again we would get married at the Casa every time.

The absolute most beautiful place to get married in Key West! This resort was the perfect spot for our June wedding. We were married on the beach overlooking the ocean, and even had pelicans crash the ceremony! in a good way! Frozen towels, water, and champagne offered to guests during the warm ceremony.. Beautiful ballroom! The Flaglar ballroom was the perfect size for our 75-person wedding. The food was delicious! So many of our guests commented on the buffet spread! The best pool and beach! We stayed in one of the suites during our stay--Fabulous! I highly recommend this resort for your wedding! Clean, professional, BEAUTIFUL!

My husband and I decided to have a beachside wedding. The best option for that in Key West is by far the Casa Marina. The service was amazing and the food was spectacular! Reina, the Casa's wedding planner, was soooo helpful and professional. We loved working with her. We had a beautiful beachside wedding where all the details were just as we had planned. We spent a lot of time during the week by the pool. EVERYTHING we ate poolside was amazing!!! The bartenders on the night of the wedding were generous. We had the most perfect day thanks to the Casa!

It was beautiful and I wouldn't change a thing by having a destination wedding.

Our reception at the Casa Marina was everything I was hoping it would be, and more! The grounds are beautiful, and reception hall has a natural and simple beauty that I absolutely fell in love with. The resort has no "glitz and glam" - something I really appreciated. There are no ornate chandeliers, or tacky carpet - everything is very understated and elegant. The Casa Marina was a perfect place for us to blend what we love about Key West (the laid back life style) with the class and sophistication a wedding deserves. Carina was our coordinator, who was a rock star to work with! She was attentive, yet not over bearing. She really listened to what we wanted, and helped make everything happen.

Food was excellent, they have an excellent "back up plan" and fantastic service! Cannot say enough good things!

The Casa Marina provided a beautiful location for our Key West Wedding. The food and service was amazing and our guests had a wonderful time. All the reviews about Reina, the hotel's wedding planner, are true. She is the best planner imaginable, ensures everything runs smoothly, and makes you feel as if your wedding is the only thing that is important. Having her as our wedding planner was the best - and our special day could not have been more perfect!

We can't say enough good things about Reina and the entire team at the Casa Marina Resort. They made our wedding weekend perfect. Reina was always available for questions throughout the planning and a complete professional. Not to mention the venue is gorgeous and meticulous maintained. I can't wait to return to the resort in the future!
